Just plain malpuas can be very tasty, but Stuffed Malpuas in Saffron Syrup is far, far beyond the normal! Once Malpuas are immersed in saffron syrup, they become softer and tastier.
Add to this a stuffing made of strawberry, almonds, raisins and cottage cheese, and you have a rich treat on the table! The stuffing also adds a bit of crunchiness to the otherwise stuffed malpuas.
For a richer and creamier taste serve topped with Rabri .
